# Outcollects - Overview

Outcollects are charges that occur when a caller is roaming. The serving (or roaming) carrier uses the outcollect process to charge the home carrier for use of the serving carrier’s network. This process is governed by the terms of the roaming agreement that exists between the two carriers. Facilitation of the billing and collection of these charges is handled by an ARP (authorized receipt point) such as Syniverse.
